Just a side note: This was Progeny's recommended solution for resizing
partitions for Progeny Debian users, and we never heard of problems with
it.  And this was with an older version of parted as well.

We also used parted to do the partitioning for our installer.  Imagine
having a Python interface to disk partitioning. :-)
